Question

Christopher made a scaled copy of the following trapezoid. He used a scale factor greater than [1]. What could be the length of the side that corresponds with [overlinebc] on the scaled copy of the trapezoid?

1) a
2) b
3) c
4) d

Answer 1

The length of the side that corresponds with overline(bc) on the scaled copy of the trapezoid is c) c.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the side that corresponds with overline(bc) on the scaled copy of the trapezoid, you need to use the given scale factor. Let's call the length of overline(bc) on the scaled copy x. Since the scale factor is greater than 1, it means that the length of overline(bc) on the actual trapezoid will be greater than x. Therefore, the answer should be c) c.
